where does the "Joe Biden has dementia" story come from? Cuz he's older? Stutters? Do people think that when you are older and might have trouble finding words or whatever, that means you have dementia?
I get the assertion. The problem I’m having is that nobody is willing to provide any specific data or examples that link any Trump actions (or inactions) to any number of resulting deaths. It just “Trump is a fucking idiot.” Ok. That’s fine, but is not enough to attribute a disproportionate number of COVID-19 deaths to him personally.
Trump, who spent weeks downplaying coronavirus, now declares himself a 'wartime president' as the US gears up to fight it https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-trump-declares-himself-a-wartime-president-2020-3
Do you feel deep down that he could have done more? Something as simple as looking into the camera and saying something or tweeting something to help.
He politicized wearing masks. There are many other things his administration could have done better but the mask bullshit alone directly caused Americans to die.
This coming from the guy who said "Let me know when Covid kills more people than the flu does annually, then I'll start shitting my pants." It might be that you don't much about medical issues and make your judgments based on opposing whatever you perceive "the left" to be saying. I know, I know, your grandpa was diagnosed with dementia or something, so you're an expert in diagnosing politicians you despise.
How do you quantify not wearing a masks for months and making fun of Biden for wearing one to his followers? How do you quantify muzzling Fauci? How would we count deaths attributed to bad mouthing certain states about opening up? You want exact figures for things that cannot be counted but factually occurred on his watch or by his actions. There is zero doubt he made this worse than it had to be. As the president, his leadership, by his own actions/example, caused millions of people to behave in a way that spread this virus. He delayed response to this when he KNEW about it in January. What did those extra two months do?
Maybe. But because he's old or has dementia? Dementia is an actual clinical diagnosis. "Acting old" isnt dementia.
How about Trump rallies? How about the Trump White House get together when people started dropping like flies with Covid illness the next week? https://www.fox5ny.com/news/study-trump-rallies-caused-over-30000-covid-cases-led-to-over-700-deaths
How about the Vaccine rollout? Smooth sailing? Without a hitch, huh. Been great. We get scientists to work 24/7 for MONTHS and actually solve (96%) this fucking thing and derp derp, where are the vaccines, where are the shipments, we just blame it on the states of course. Trump says its on the states to figure it out. But it wasnt on the states to decide to stay closed, or shut down schools, he wanted to chime in on that every damn day. Oregon thought it was getting more vaccines and then find out nope, they dont exist. Who's in charge? I thought we'd have 20 M vaccinated by end of year? it was 1m i think?
Why are we trying to fight with people that saw 4 years of the Trump administration and still voted for him? They are clearly not affected by logic.
Should I save forum time by pre-emptively just making the blanket comment "ya know, I am not left or right, i am an Independent, always have been...."?
